384. Defining problematic drinking with sommelier turned sober coach , Ted Gibson

In this episode, Ted Gibson shares his journey from a professional in the alcohol industry to becoming a sober coach. He discusses the evolving understanding of what constitutes problematic drinking, the challenges of sobriety while working in hospitality, and practical tips for those considering a sober lifestyle.

He talks about his own social anxiety and using alcohol to mask that and also the anxiety around losing his hair which was causing a lot of discomfort for him.

We also talk about the definitions of problematic drinking behaviour and how it is not always just being at rock bottom.
